I always hear that itās not the events that make a life but the moments, the small pieces of days. I thought that as a SAHM I would have all this time to do all these things like make awesome crafts for Pinterest postings and cook gourmet meals for food magazines while sacheting around the house. Geezā¦.WRONG! I had forgotten why I was even there in the first place. My kids. My hilarious, annoying, messy, inquisitive, loving, gorgeous kids. I thought I knew them. I mean every mother knows their kids but I thought I knew them better. Every day I learn a little bit more. I gain a little more insight about who they are and who they want to be from these little, unfiltered moments. Like this morning: My boy had a belly ache. We ate bad food all weekend because it was his birthday. So, Monday morning begins with two really grouchy, lethargic children. My boy rolled over in his bed and said, āI just want to stay home and eat your cooking.ā In my mind I yelled YES I LOVE YOU TOO!!!
A rush of emotions from his few words in a small moment made my day, and possibly my entire month! Then, when I picked up my girl from pre school she told me she had to tell me a secret, so I bent down and she whispered in my ear, āI love you!ā So awesome. So so awesome. Just two moments on a Monday that confirm Iām where Iām supposed to be, home making moments with my kids.
